Description
Outside Baker City, Oregon, at the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center.
I wonder if someone traveling the Oregon Trail 150 years ago saw these same rocks with the ancestors of these lichen growing there?

Perhaps they did, and took a mental picture of it! Nice shot!

I have seen parts of the trail and I find it awe inspiring. No doubt these rocks were seen by those pioneers.

Exciting to think of that. There is such a variety of lichen, and I like the look of the rust coloured one.

I expect they did - and probably wished they had a camera, even though they were quite rudimentary and bulky at the time! A lovely and colorful capture, Tara!

So stunning! It reminds me of the Namib desert with my 2009 visit after they had good rain. Lichen and wild flowers were everywhere in the arid landscape!

Reminds me of rocks in the Cederberg mountains - one of my favourite places on the planet. Damn, it's too long since I visited there... Wonderful shot, Tara.
